Thing 10

RSS ( really simple syndication) is something that I have personally never heard of before 3040. I have never blogged before and have only read others blogs just because they said it would be fun. I have now learned that not only do I have to read myspace or facebook blogs I can also read and sign up for blogs on websites that actually interest me. Before taking 3040, I only thought blogs exsisted on social networks like myspace and facebook, I now know blogs are all over the place and cover many more topics. Now that I understand what RSS is and what blogs typically do, I can sign up for educational websites and other blog sites to help me, as an educator, and as a person understanding the world around us. Google Reader, Bloglines and others offer very easy steps to signing up for RSS with the websites and blog spots I am interested in pursuing. This could help teachers and students in keeping up with what is going on in today's world as well as what is going on the the classroom blog. Very helpful!!
